Sometimes the hardest part of your morning is answering the question “what will I wear today?”  The temperamental weather and the varying trends combine to form a seemingly insurmountable block between you and that perfect outfit.

One of the best ways to secure a style that screams “YOU” is to look at the fashion choices of others and adapt them to fit your own look. But, you don’t have to look at celebrities for style inspiration, we have plenty fashionable dressers at North Penn! Take a look at this outfit worn by Tatiana Knies-Smith, an exemplary model of differing styles working together.

Collars are a huge trend right now, shown here in a denim button-up. To combat the boyish vibe that emanates from these types of button-up shirts, pair it with a girly skirt that cinches at the waist! A-line skirts are the best type to match with a flannel or button-up because it doesn’t create lines or creases where you stick the shirt in and it adds contrasting volume to the tighter shirt.

Mixing prints and colors may seem like a risky move, but when done right, they can complement each other perfectly. Patterned tights with a patterned skirt can look better together rather than alone, as long as the top is kept simple. When a person wears too many patterns, it can be jarring to the eye. It is best to have a focal point and the supplementary accessories and patterns, such as a floral skirt with faintly printed tights and a solid color shirt, as seen here.

Fashion is subjective; everybody has their own style and preferences, but certain guidelines should be followed that can help you put outfits together with ease.
